T0 @ZZ whom 'it 'laag/001110077@- lie it known that I, ("HARLEs L.GOEHRING, of Allegheny, in the 'county ot' Allegheny and State ot.Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inMoldingsleetively, of Fig. l.

This invention relates toa new and improvedsystem comprising-:1 seriesof separate j cooperating mechanisms for the production of ornamentaland other designs, ligures,.or moldings in or upon the surface of' woodor other materials by the action thereon of revolving cutters orabrading-instro ments, and. in which the material operated upon is movedor advanced constantly in one direction, while the cutters areautomatically shifted or adjusted laterally withl respect. to the lineotmovement ol' the material to vary the direei l l l l Serial No. 260,097.y(No model.)

mechanisms. Fig. S illustrates in plan and section a few of theinnumerable designs which may be formed bythe machine shown. 9, 10, andll.-are diagrammatic views illustrating the action of the cutters.

Similar letters of' reference in the several figures indicate the sameparts.

ln illustration ol' the composition and adapt-ation of my imj'lrovedsystem, the four constituent elements tliereol'-\'iz., the feed-i ing,the cutting, the adjusting, and the act-uatiug or regulating devices ormeehanismsare represented, the first by rolls A, of which twoor morepairs are preferably employed, lieingr'lriven at equal peripheralvelocities, so that the material-.such as a l'ioard-When insertedbetween the members ,of the first pair or' rolls A, will he grasped andcarried or ted foi-u ard at a rate dependent wholly upon tlie'speed of'the rolls.;- the second by one or incre rotating cutter-heads or sets ofcutterheads, B B B2, each' furnished with cutters or bits of appropriateform; the third by the mechanism or carriages and movable slidesconnected to or carrying thesupports for each cutter-head, the wholeconstituting an adjusting system h y which the requisite movements ofIthe cutter-heads relatively to the line of feed are obtained, and thefourth by a system of gearing or driving mechanism uniting the adjustingsystem and feeding devices A together or to the prime motor, so that themovements of each shall' have a fXed and determinate .relation to theother. NOW the primary object and result of this arrangement ofco-operat-ive elements is the establishment and maintenance of theuniform movement or adjustment of each cutter-head relatively andproportionally to each other and to the progressive movement or feed ofthe material, so that by varying the proportions in or throughout thegearing the excursions of t-he cutter-heads may be increased ordiminished, the rate of speed being constant, or vice versa. The valueand importance of IOC this feature, especially in its application toadjusting devices of the character shown, will hereinafter appear.

Turning now to the, special application of `the principle shown in thedrawings, it will vbe seen that the several mechanisms and devices areappropriately supported and mount? ed upon a substantial frame-work, E,in order that the various devices may be maintained 1o at all timessecurely in-their relative positions.

'lhe upper rolls, c, of each pair of feedvrolls A are supported invertically adjustable andmovable bearings a', held down by the 1/5l`yielding pressure of weights a2. The bearings a are connected by rods'm with acrosshead, m', and to the weight a? by rods m2. The cross-headm is held in adjusted position by a screw, 'm3,- engaging a threadedapzo erture therein, and provided with a collarwor shoulder, m4, restinginV contact with the top of the housings: Both rolls of each pair arepreferably made of the same diameter, and all the said rolls areconnected by gearing in t-he usual manner,v as shown, so that all of thefeed-rolls will be rotated at the same speed, or so as to have equalperipheral velocities. These forms or varieties of cut-ting mechanisms(designated B, B', and B2) are 3o illust-rated, any one or more of whichmaybe employed or thrown out of operation, as desired, to ad( pt themachine to the particular pattern or design 'to be produced, and inaddition to these I have included as accesso- 3 5 ries two roughening orfinishing cutters,

B3 Bt Although, as is obvious, the relative' position and arrangement ofthe several cutting mechanisms may be varied, if desired, with-l 4o outdeparting from the spirit of my invention,

I will hereinafter describe and refer to them in the order andarrangement in which they areillustrated in the drawings.

lThe first cutting mechanism, B, of the series iis located between thetwo sets of feed-rolls' l and comprises a pair of cutter-heads, l),supported on vertical arbors b', and designed to give form to theedges-or sides of the article as it passes between them. The cutters or5o bits areof appropriate form-for example, one being adapted to form agroove and dress one edge of the plank and the other to 'form a tenonand dress the opposite edge, while the arbors carrying said cutter-headsare so arranged and supported as that they may be reciprocated towardand from each other on the line of feed, whereby the edges of the plankmay be given either a regular or irregular'outline, as will presentlyappear.

The arbor b of each cutter-head b, provided with a pulley or otherappropriate drivinggear, is supported in bearings b2 on the overhangingarm b3 of a slide, b4, the latter held `and supported in ways onthe'frame, and said slide b4 carries an abutment or anti-friction wheel,b5, held in contact with an eccentric or cam, C', of appropriateoutline, by a weight and chain or cord or other equivalent yieldingconnection, such as will operate to hold the slide retracted with ayielding pressure against the face of its pattern-cam C.

In order to provide for the ready adaptation and adjustment of themachine to operate upon different widths of material, the said slidingframe 7J" is constructed in two sections, the one carrying the arm b3sliding long l'tudlnally in ways in the base, the two parts 'beingunited by an adjustable connection-such as v a screw, 1)thrcadcd througha lug on the base and provided with collars engaging a lug, b,

rack, bs, may be secured to the upright and a gear, b9,*sup1')ortedinbearings on the base,

said gear meshing withthc rack and connected through suitable gearingwith a vhand-wheel K 0r lever at 'or near the front of the machine, sothat the operatorcan readily and 'quickly effect the lateral adjustmentof the arbor and its cutter-head. v

Beyond the second set of rolls is located the iii'st or top dressingcutter, B3, comprising on the upright; or, as preferred, a1

a cutter-head, b, standing parallel with and over a pulley on the frameand attached at one end to said slidecQ.

For the purpose of accommodating the cutter to different thicknesses ofmaterial, the slide c2, instead of being supported .directly upon or inthe frame E, is fitted to guidesin a carriage, c, the latter beingsupported iu ways in the frame aud moved vertically for adjustment by ascrew-commotion,

The primary function of the cutter B3 is to dress off the upper face ofthe board; but in order that it may be utilized as a roughingtool toassist the other cutters it isharranged to be given a longitudinalreciln'ocating-movement by the pattern-cam C2. Otherwise this cam mightbe dispensed withl andthe slide fastened to or made integra-l with thevertically-adj ustable carriage cl. A construction of this kind isadapted for the cutter'B*,lo'

cated in the present instance at the reaigend.

of the machine and below the table, saidcutter being designed forfinishing the undersurface of the plank.

Next in order is the cutting device B', consisting of a cutter-head, b,secured to the lower end of a vertical arbor, d, the latter supported inoverhanging bearings d. The bearings or AIOO IIC

arms d are so arranged and mounted as to permit of vertical adjustmentas well as vertical and lateral movements corresponding to I 3Q orfollowing the designs of pattern-cams. Thus in the illustrated machinethe bearings d' are secured to a slide, d2, movable in ways on acarriage, d3, the latter being supported in guides in the frame E andadapted -to move f. er, resting upon the pattern-cams C3. Said sec-Ations, sliding the onein or upon'guides formed y on the other, areunited by an adjustable conmined.

` The path traversed by the arbor is determined by and represents themean of two motions communicated to support, the one motion being in adirection transverse to the line of feed-that is to say, a movementlongitudinal of the arbor and across theface of the material-at an angleto the lforward or feeding motion oi' the latter-while theother movementis one tending to change -or vary the angular position of the arborrelatively to the movement of the material, and is effected by causing'the arbor-frame to oscilla-te about au axis which, if prolonged, wouldintersect thecutters' and the material. This change in the angularposition of the cutter-head relatively to the direction ot' .movement ofthe material passing beneath it is eltected while the support for thearbor-frame is .reciprocating across/the material-that is to say,

The number of cutting mechanisms B to be `of the design tobe traced. Inthe present instance two such mechanisms are illustrated, situated onopposite sides of the machine, the second cutter being locatedjust infront of the finishing-cutter B4.

Beyond the vertical cutters B', and on opposite sides ofthe frame, arearranged a pair of cutting mechanisms, B2, the one standing in heads hwill project equally over the material to be operated upon.

Each mechanism B2 (forming the subject of a separate application, No.260,098, to which reference is 'made for a more full and detaileddescription) comprises a cutter-head,- b, secured to a horizontal arbor,and supported struction and arrangement being' such that the cutter-headmay be moved vertically, l transversely, or angularly with respect tothe line -of feed o the material operated upon, said movements takingplace simultaneously or successively and being governed or conthe lineot' feed. Consequentlyagiven point on the cutter-head would be caused totraverse a path or line on the face of the material representing the sumof the three metions, two performed by the cutter and the third bythe'material. These movements and explained.' 'lo etlect thesemovements` and adjustments are sulicientif flat designs only ot' thecutter-head, the arbor to which it is secured is mounted in bearings ina frame or plate, e, that is pivotally secured to a bolt, e2, dependingfrom tie forward or over-hanging which the cuts or lines produced atthis point are of uniform depth; but in order greatly to provide for thenecessary initial adjustment are to be produced-that is to say, figuresin duce designs in an infinite variety provision is made"'for eiecting avertical movement or reciprocation of the cutter, said movement beinglikewise controlled and effected by pattern-cams. To this end the slidec', with said plate e being supported in guides on the slide e.

The angular or oscillating movement of the ting mechanisms B2, with theadjusting' or actuating' devices therefor, should be employed, and solocated and arranged as to operate upon opposite' sides of the face ofthe board when passing beneath them, in order that iigurcs or designsmay be formed by the separate as well as by coincident cuts producedby-the separate cutters.

I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not in` this applicationclaim a special form of driving mechanism for the cutters herein shown,nor does it` form part ofpmy present invention, as any suitablecombinations or arrangement of devices may be sub-v stituted or used forthe purpose, as will readily be understood by any person skilled in theart.

Having described three of the four principal elements of the improvedmachine-wiz., the feeding, cutting, and adjusting or controllingdevices--the actuating mechanism alone remains. This comprises a systemof gearing uniting and connecting the several pattern-cams HG2, C, C",and C5 and the lfeeding devices or rolls with the prime motor or driving-shaft, so that the whole system will move in harmony, for it isof ythe utmost importance that the various movements of each cuttershould be accurately timed, both as to each other and to the progressivemovement or feed of the material.

Any appropriate system of gearing or driving mechanism which will insurethe desired unitaryaction of all the devices may be employed; but, bypreference, it should be so orgauized as to permit of ready adjustmentin order that the pattern-cams may be removed and others substituted,and the gearing so modied, as by the substitutionof wheels or gearsdiffering in size or dimensions, that the speed of each adjustingmechanism may be varied relatively to 'ices. An arrangement of gearingsuitable for the purpose is Aillustrated in the drawings, wherein Grepresents the main'driving-shaft,

that of the feeding defeed-rolls through a train of gears, G2.

Supported in bearings on frame are three corresponding series ofvertical shafts, g g g2, the firstset, @carrying the cams C', the secondset, g', the cams C, and the third set, g2, the cams C5, an additionalshaft, g8, being provided for cam .(32. The shafts g' g2 of each seriesare driven through bevel gears g4 from a shaft, G3, mounted in 'bearingson the side of the frame. The cams C3, controlling the verticalmovements of cutting mechanism B', are secured to a shaft, g5, delriving motion from shaft G3 through bevelgears g and a short Khaft, gl,while' the cams C6, controlling the vertical movements of cuttingmechanism B2, are secured to a shaft, g8, driven through bevel-gears gfrom the shaft q2. The two parallel shafts. G3 are connected g, and thelatter in turn are connected togetherto rot( te in unison by bevel-gearsy and a cross-shaft, G4. This cross-shaft G4 unites the two series ofshafts controlling the movements of the several cutting mechanisms,andit is in turn connected through suitable gearing, G5,'with the maindrivin g-shaftG which controls the speed of the feeding-rolls. It willthus be seen that all the movements 0f the several elements constitutingthe system are controlled directly by the main driving-shaft, and thateach separate cam or series of cams will be driven in unison with thefeed-roll, the speed of yeach cam being determined by the relativedimensions of the sev- Aeral gears and in direct proportion to the speedat which the material vis advanced or fed toward the cutters.

,lVith a machine constructed and working i'n accordance with theprinciples herein described and illustrated an endless variety ofdesigns can be produced by the interchanging or substitutionvvofgearings,bychanging the form or dimensions of the cutters,'by thesubstitution of' pattern-camsv of different di mensions andconfiguration, or by any adjustment of. the several co-operative partssuch as will eect a change in the time,`form, and extent of the variousmovements given to the cutting mechanisms relatively to cach other andto the feeding devices.' Vhen, however, the adjustments have once beenreproduce continuously the same designs so long as the unitaryadjustment of parts rciiiains undisturbed.

In Fig. 8 I have illustrated several of the infinite number of designswhich may be formed by proper adjustment of the mechanisms in accordancewith the scheme of this invention. No. l represents a design made upofseparate boards connected by tongueand groove joint, each board bearingthe same design upon its surface and a continuous overlapping bead onits curved edge covering the joint. In No. 2 the design on the the sidesof the IOC made and the machine is set in motion, it will face of theboards is the same; but the edges are made straight instead of withinterlocking curves, as in No. l. No. 3 represents a design in which thelines are cut below the general level of the surface, as distinguishedfrom N os. l and 2, wherein the lines and'iig'ures are in relief. In No.4 the lines and figures are formed partly above and partly below thegeneral surface. .No 5 represents a con'iposite design including threeboards, each formed with correspondingly-curved edges but differentfaces. n

sis obvious, one orboth edges can be made straight, curved, or of anydesired irregular form either for the whole ora portion of their lengthby the proper adjustment of one or both cutting' mechanisms l5, and thefigures on the fare can also be changed or varied by the adjustment andaction of cutting mechanisms l l5?, and any two boards havingcorrespondingl et ges can be associated together (without reference tothe particular design of their surfaces) and united by atongue-andgroovc joint.

1or the purpose of showing' tive relation of the the co-operaseveralcuttin mechanisms, l have illustrated diagrammatically in Figs. 9, l0,and ll two sets of cutters belonging tothe mechanisms B B2 ofthe seriesand designed to form one of the ornamental moldings No.; 5 tof Fig. 8.

The vertical motion referred to is a motion ofthe cutter-head toward and from the Vface of the material in a planeintersecting the line of feed' or movement. The lateral motion is onetransverse to the line of feedfthat is to say, across the facev of thematerial at anangle to the line of feed-and the swinging or angular pfirst, s, for completing the bead .and the' grooves in have their upperrepresenting* movement is one about an axis or center of oscillationintersecting' the cutter and material, whereby'the angle formed at thepoint where' the axis of the cutter-head intersects the line of feed-z'.e., the line of movement of thematerial*is varied or changed, so as t0cause thecutters or bits to face the material in the line of movementrepresented by the resultant of the three motions-viz., feed ofmaterial, transverse reciprocation of cutterhead, and oscillation orchange in angular po` sition of cutter-head;A The bits t5 on thecutter-head, Fig. 1'0, are, for convenience of description7 divided intothree sections-the 153 and surface s, the second, s, for forming thebead s4, and the third, s2, for forming one-half of the bead orprojection The longitudinal motion of the arbor-that is to say, itsmovement across the face of the plankco'rresponds with the lateralmovement imparted to the cutter-head off mechanism B', resulting in theformation of a half-molding', as shown at n.
